Yes, we confirmed this some time ago. The number of stripes HAS to equal the number of physical volumes in the LV.
You can have a VG of, say, 10 PV's, with two striped LV's, 5 and 5 (both 5 stripes) or 6 and 4 (6 and 4 stripes), but if you want all 10 PV's in one LV, it has to be 10 stripes. We have some very large LV's that are 29 stripes.
